Hope someone can help…

40 years ago in my late teens l had a drug addiction and committed fraud from my employer (£1000) l was given a 24 month suspended sentence.

My first and last criminal offence, followed me around like a dark cloud my whole life. I’m still ashamed. I’ve worked all my adult life apart from raising my kids. At 60 years of age l need to go to work before l go mad but every job l see requires checks… am l right in thinking that my conviction will show up despite the fact it was 40 years ago??

Thanks in advance…

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll try and stick to applying for jobs that require basic searches. I’m still ashamed so would hate for people to know.

Everyone makes mistakes, the issue most people lack is the understanding that mistakes can be learned from to stop the same mistakes happening again. Especially when it comes to first time offenders.
